Newspaper Gets It Right: Old Dogs ARE the Best Dogs!



My GraNE sent me this photo essay from the WaPo entitled Old Dogs are the Best Dogs.

There's an accompanying story about an old dog. This was my favorite part:

Some years ago, the Style section invited readers to come up with a midlife list of goals for an underachiever. The first-runner-up prize went to:

"Win the admiration of my dog."

It's no big deal to love a dog; they make it so easy for you.

Thanks for sending the story, GraNE. It has gotten me loads of sniffly snuggles and snacks! Way to go! Though I don't know who around here is old?

SPCA Saturday (Brought to you by BIG RED)

Hellloooooo! This is an exciting week for both Big Reds--me and the Nebraska Cornhusker Big Red--because they are playing the Misery Tigers and it is so so so exciting.

Don't I look like a Mastiff here? I'm like Mango but I'm more huge, not as much relentlessly huge.

You wanna meet my friends who area available for adoption right now? This is Chevy! He's a purebred lab and he's all lab. Super friendly, playful, goofy, likes toys. He, uh, needs to work on his leash manners (and I should know, I've been known to be a shoulder de-socketer in my day).


This lovely lady does not have a name so let's call her Lil' Red.

She spent a great deal of her outside time in the Lady's lap, chewing on her hair and ear and nuzzling. In other words--yeah, she's sweet.

This is Bailey. She's a tripod! She was seized from a breeder along with two other Shar-peis. She is also quite sweet and girl can MOVE. You wouldn't know she had three legs if you saw her on the move.

She has some skin problems but she's still totally pretty, don't you think?


This is 305 who is also a Lil Red. She's totally sweet, too and a lot of people were looking at her so I hope she goes home!

Me, I'm waiting to be a walk-on for the Cornhuskers! Look at my mad ball handling skillz!

And I must have a lovely muscle butt because look at the lady pointing at it!

I've got moves! Recruit me, Huskers! I'll be a great player!

Also Wally asked me to include him so that the Obama Girls--who are looking for a rescue dog--will see him and want to adopt him. Dude! Don't bogart the homes! Maybe I could live in the White House! I'd even wear lipstick!

OK, this is Wally's blog so I'll just say--one dog per girl! Wally n' Big Red--1st dogs 4ever!

Lazy Saturday Afternoon

We were up late Thursday night watching the debate and tonight we have to stay up to watch the Phillies and then the Cornhuskers who are going to BEAT some stupid Missouri Tigers!!! So we had a lazy Saturday afternoon.

A yawn to the right.

A yawn to the left.
And the corgador is fading...

Going....going....
Aaaaand, he's in dreamland...

Can you guess what the corgador is dreaming about?
